Abstract

Objective: To investigate the clinical value of echocardiography in the diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD) in newborns. Methods: A total of 1000 suspected cases of CHD in newborns were selected as the research subjects, and all underwent echocardiography examination and surgical/cardiac catheterization examination. The diagnostic efficacy of echocardiography in the diagnosis of CHD in newborns was analyzed using the surgical/cardiac catheterization examination results as the gold standard. Results: Among the 1000 suspected cases of CHD in newborns, 881 cases (88.10%) were not detected with CHD, 119 cases (11.90%) were detected with CHD, 2 normal newborns were misdiagnosed as having ventricular septal defect, and 6 cases were missed. The remaining results were consistent with the results of surgical/cardiac catheterization examination. Among the 1000 suspected cases of CHD in newborns, 125 cases were detected with CHD through surgical/cardiac catheterization examination. The specificity of echocardiography in the diagnosis of CHD in newborns was 99.77%, the sensitivity was 93.60%, the accuracy was 99.00%, the positive predictive value was 98.32%, and the negative predictive value was 99.09%. Conclusion: Echocardiography has a high diagnostic efficacy in the diagnosis of CHD in newborns and can reflect the condition of CHD newborns, providing better guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
